Although we see them shining on stages in front of thousands of people, impeccably dressed and with a divine presence, artists are also human. And as humans, they get emotional and burst into tears if a song brings back memories or touches their hearts.
The young singer Aitana, who has recently been the target of controversy for her groundbreaking choreographies, let herself be carried away by her emotions this Saturday at the Estadio de la Cartuja in Seville, where she performed one more of her Alpha Tour concerts.
Since the start of the tour on October 1 in Valencia, Aitana has made headlines for her change in attitude and appearance, more adult and sensual, moving away from the teenager who one day entered Operación Triunfo. This time, however, she has gone viral for another reason.
Aitana dedicated the song Vas a querte to Elena Huelva, breaking down in tears and letting the audience chant the lyrics while she tried to maintain her composure. Fans understood the situation and supported her favorite artist: "It's been wonderful." They were both very friends until death separated them. Huelva died at the age of 20 on January 3, due to Ewing's sarcoma that was diagnosed when he was 16.
The Sevillian influencer was a writer and activist against cancer, especially helping teenagers who were going through the same situation. Huelva explained her daily life on social media under the motto "My desire wins."
Aitana and Elena had a close relationship, so much so that the singer dedicated a post to her on Instagram on the day of her death. It read: "My girl, your desire always won. Elena, what an example of strength you always gave us all. A new star shines in the sky, more than any. I love you."
